Analyte molecules in matrix Principle of MALDI-TOF-MS Vacuumlock • all ions with Ekin = 1/2mv2 Laser Vacuum system Linear flight tube Drift region Ion detector Sampleplate Acceleration grids Mass spectrum space/energy uncertainty 20 to 200 spectra have to be added;total duration 2 to 20 secondswith 50 (200) Hertz Laser Flight time m/z
Laser High resolution TOF-MS with Reflector 0V + kV MALDI ionsource Ion reflector Iondetector HiRes mass spectrum The reflector focuses ions of same mass but different Ekin (velocity) on detector; high resolution is obtained m/z Flight time
MS/MS by PSD • MS/MS = fragment ion or tandem mass spectromentry • PSD = Post Source Decay
PSD by Reflectron TOF (Scheme) Metastable decay of molecular ions, energy is reduced according to mass ratio Adjustment of voltages Electr. potentialion energy Segment 1 Segment 2 Segment 3 Segment 4 E = 1/2 mv2 v=const. eg. if M+ = 1000, m = 500 has 4 keV m = 100 has 0.8 keV m =25 has 100 eV Source Reflector
Weaker field Weak field Weaker field Strong field Laser TOF-MS/MS by PSD Manual operation: 20 – 40 minutes;automatic operation: 5 – 10 minutesper daughter ion spectrum(100 acquisitions in each segment) Adjustment of voltages Adjustment of voltages Adjustment of voltages MALDI ionsource Parent ionselector Ion reflector Iondetector Daughter ion mass spectrum The daughter ion spectrum can only be measured in segments which have to be pasted together.10 - 15 segments are necessary. 4 3 21
In proteomics, many proteins have to be separated and analysed fast to avoid degradation • Regarding structure information,MALDI MS/MS appears to be optimal,but PSD is much too slow ! • Consequence: Development of a fast MALDI MS/MS instrument !
MALDI TOF/TOFwith post-acceleration • by potential LIFT
Potential is switched whenions are in LIFT TOF/TOF with LIFT (Scheme) Even low mass ionshave high energy,good for detection All fragment ions can beanalyzed simultaneously,no segmenting necessary Electr. potentialion energy 1. TOF 2. TOF Decaying ions, energy reduced,low speed LIFT Source Reflector

Problems to be solved by Bioinformatics • MS based • Identity Search Search Engines
MS Protein Identification is Probability based How closely is a given protein or peptide sequence matching to the measured masses ? There are several strategies for a matching “ score“ : • For example: • Probability based MOWSE score (Mascot) • Bayesian probability (ProFound) • Cross correlation (MS-Fit) Masses determined by MS are not unique Identification is probability based Problem of assigning true probabilities to a given identification
